The color scheme is chartreuse.As in, the evolution of. As in, the reptilian brain.

There is a frequent unravelingof royal standards. Sky window spacing:

a fine view of the piñata clouds.The living room full of potted orchidsexhaling ever so rapidly.

The practice of husbandry in trilogy form. Conveyor belts transfer
